It’s a good job we are away next match. I don’t think our home crowd would be too sympathetic if we put in a performance like that next time out.

Terrible start to New Year. I thought I’d suffered enough with England but oh no….

The beatings will stop when morale improves.

probably a good idea at least he'd allow us to stay up
happy with 0-0 until the rest of the season

Roy Hodgson's appointment will illustrate how far we've come since Roy Hodgson's day. Parish wants his tiki taki fancy total football, yet thinks it can be done on a shoestring, joker. Pulis was our best manager in recent times, got the very best out of an average set of players.

Yep, the usual s*ite on here because we've lost a game.

Moving on hoping for a discussion.... (If only Mitrovic hadn't been fit!!).
I thought both red cards were harsh, the second goal should have surely been disallowed.

Olise and Schlupp in midfield really doesn't work and Zaha should not play in the centre.

Vieirra really needed to change things at half time, stick on some harder working midfielders and a striker that can earn the odd free kick.

Out of the whole team I thought Ayew did the most to get stuck in and won a few tackles,

Doucoure has replaced Kouyate. Replacements for Gallagher, Benteke and McArthur were ignored. Throw in two ageing right backs and no cover at left back and the fact that Luka, Tomkins and Riedeweld are now probably championship players at best.
The squad was neglected.
What has shocked me is his the passing football we played last year has been abandoned.
Looks like there will be no investment in the January window either. I suspect Dyche may be brought in to try and save it and we will be back where we were 2 years ago if we stay up, playing anti football. The fault rests with the board.
